This research found that the Hair & Scalp CARE questionnaire is an effective tool for assessing the impact of scalp and hair condition on psychological wellbeing, and suggests healthier hair and scalp are linked to lower stress and better sleep.

In this study, researchers developed and tested an Italian version of the Skindex-16AA to assess Health-Related Quality of Life in patients with moderate-to-severe Alopecia Areata, emphasizing the importance of patient perception in evaluating their mental health and quality of life.

This review summarizes various indices used to assess disease activity and damage in systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting challenges in universal consensus and their practical applications in research and clinical settings.

This review summarizes the role of platelet-rich plasma in treating musculoskeletal injuries in athletes, highlighting its current and potential applications, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that wedelolactone from Eclipta prostrata L. significantly reduced lung inflammation and fibrosis in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits through AMPK activation.

In this study, the combination of arsenic toxicity and hypoxia in Arabidopsis thaliana altered root development through stress-specific root growth phenotypes and changes in phosphate starvation response, energy metabolism, and redox signaling.

This review found that the DLQI is widely used as a benchmark in the development and validation of dermatology quality-of-life measures.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This study found that radiofrequency microneedling significantly enhanced the absorption of topical triamcinolone acetonide, with insertion depth being more influential than RF energy levels.

This review discusses the uncertain role of immune factors, particularly autoantibodies, in the development of alopecia areata and emphasizes that identifying key autoantigens could lead to targeted immunotherapies.

This abstract describes the approval of a study by the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials and the North South University Institutional Review Board, but it does not report any results or conclusions.

In this study, chronic unpredictable stress affected male and female wild-derived house mice differently; stressed females gained less weight, had long grooming times, and lower immobility in tests, while stressed males showed increased hair corticosterone levels and shorter immobility times.

This review discusses the off-label use of SSRIs to manage inappropriate sexual behavior in elderly dementia patients and highlights the unclear risk of post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, noting a need for high-quality clinical trials.

This review highlights how natural products with antioxidant properties can modulate the Wnt signaling pathway, potentially influencing various pathological conditions such as cancer, stroke, and regenerative medicine. It also addresses controversies in the compounds' mechanisms across different models and suggests research directions for future studies.

This review discusses the free hormone hypothesis for measuring "free" testosterone and critiques its theoretical basis and clinical application, noting it lacks critical empirical testing and has inconsistent utility in assessing androgen status.

This article discusses the advantages and different techniques of dermoscopy for skin lesion visualization and reviewing no new clinical results; it emphasizes the integration of polarized light and the importance of training.

This study found that split-head paired design trials are as effective as whole-head parallel design trials in differentiating anti-dandruff shampoos through scalp flaking measurements, but are more efficient and cost-effective, requiring fewer participants to achieve similar results.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This study concludes that the Greek version of the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing body dysmorphic disorder-related concerns in both research and clinical settings.

In this study, a single application of autologous cellular micrografts showed short-term favorable responses in up to two-thirds of patients with androgenetic alopecia.

Current evidence reviewed in this study indicates that finasteride, a drug for hair loss, can cause depression and suicidality, with delayed recognition partly due to insufficient post-approval pharmacovigilance by manufacturers and regulators.

This study describes a computational method using side-effect data from social media to identify new drug indications, suggesting it could be effective for drug repositioning.

This study suggests that using a new computational method to mine social media for side-effect data may enhance drug repositioning by recovering known and trial drug indications effectively.

This study found that a new computational method using side-effect data from social media can successfully identify known and potential new drug indications for repositioning efforts.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

In this study, researchers developed a method for high-resolution live imaging of leg regeneration in the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis, which effectively captures the entire process at cellular resolution over 10 days while minimizing photodamage.

This meta-analysis found that PRP monotherapy improved hair density in androgenetic alopecia patients but did not affect hair diameter, with stronger effects observed in male subjects.

This protocol outlines a study aiming to develop a universal patient-reported outcome measure for various hair disorders through qualitative interviews, with no new clinical results reported yet.

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata experienced significant increases in work productivity loss and activity impairment due to worsening emotional symptoms, highlighting a need for better treatments.

This protocol outlines a nationwide study to investigate the prevalence of metabolic and reproductive abnormalities, anxiety, and depression in Brazilian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, aiming to inform public health strategies.
